Flock to the Rock!

2019 date: July 13th, 10 AM till 4 PM

Join the Duluth Climbers Coalition for our annual summer rendezvous: a free day of climbing at Ely’s Peak! Local climbing organizations will have ropes set, provide climbing equipment for people of all ages, and there will be qualified instructors on hand to belay and offer beta (that’s climber slang for advice). For more experienced climbers, there will be plenty of climbs for you to set your own ropes on and local guides to provide directions and advice. YMCA Camp Miller will also be on hand with mountain bikes to lead free short bike excursions on the DWP trail. It’s a climbing and outdoor party that’s free and family-friendly: the tunnel will be outfitted with glo-sticks for easier passage and we’ll have free hotdogs in the parking lot! Bottled water provided!

Family and kid friendly event!

No previous climbing experience or registration is required; just show up and enjoy the day with Duluth’s climbing community at our premier warm weather crag! Climbing from 10 AM to 4 PM (last call for climbing requires you to be at the crag by 3 PM).
